The Ramrods
"I was given the responsibility of finding a band for my Nan and Grandad’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary party. I booked The Ramrods for this event and they were fantastic! My Nan and Grandad reminisce their dancing days, listening to songs they used to dance and jive to. Everyone enjoyed listening and dancing to the songs they brilliantly performed all night. Would highly recommend this rockabilly band for any special occasion."
Martin Benjamin
"Fabulous entertainment our guests loved you. Thank you very much Martin"
Ukulele Eric
"We had Eric at a family party for my brother who was 60, his children and grandchildren attended so it was a mixed age group, Eric was very friendly and explained which instruments he was playing on, which he did very well. He has a varied list of songs and kept us entertained while he was there, some people carried on talking but later they said it was good to have some background entertainment, I would certainly recommend Eric to liven up any party, thank you so much for attending ours."
Rich Hazlewood
"We had the pleasure of Rich singing last night at my Dad’s 80th party.
What a voice and he played a great selection of songs which everyone loved. He made the atmosphere amazing and everyone was dancing, or foot tapping!
If you are looking for the wow factor , this guy has it all.
We will definitely book him again.
Thanks Rich, you put a smile on many faces, and I’m sure everyone is still humming those tunes this morning 😊"
Justin Holcroft
"Justin’s performance was intimate and stunning at the same time. Great communication, very effective preparation and coverage by someone who can play the sax, from Jazz, swing to lounge and bar background music. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in high-quality, paired with a down-to-earth mindset and to-the-point delivery."
Dave Dove - Acoustic Guitarist
"Thank you Dave for making our day so memorable! You took our favourite songs and made them into beautiful classical versions and we could not believe how amazing they sounded as I walked down the aisle! All our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was because the music made it so emotional and personal. Thanks again I would thoroughly recommend Dave to anyone."
